Suite Installation with Multiple Instances

I have a suite installation that consists of 3 features and one of the features is enabled for multiple instances. It happens to be the 2nd feature in order to be installed. There will be occasions where the user will need to install multiple instances of the 2nd feature. A typical install will consist of all 3 features to be installed. Is there a way to install a multiple instance at the end of the feature 2 install before feature 3 is installed.

So we end up with

1st Feature installed
2nd Feature installed (instances #0 and #1
3rd Feature installed

Currently i am installing all 3 features first time and then re-running the installer and selecting just feature 2 to install another instance.

Re: Suite Installation with Multiple Instances

Hello,

For this you can try to add twice the setup of the second feature in the "Prerequisites" page. So your project could contain two prerequisites pointing to the same setup package.

All the best,
